Current Mood : Hopeful
Beloved Hubby’s class at the
Library went well, and it was nice to socialize a bit. The corridor from the
main entrance to the restrooms just off the Library proper was lined with
boxes, nearly all labeled 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. Most will be empty by month’s
end. While we waited for the front desk to begin the day – to get the key to
our reserved meeting room – I watched six people dig in the boxes, extract
their forms and leave. How anyone can come to a Library and not dig in the
shelves for a few minutes is a foreign concept to me.
However, I notice that since
we got a Tablet with the Kindle app, I don’t feel the pull as strongly as I
used to, either. Now that KindleBuffet.com is back up, and I’m downloading
three to five free, if often short, books a week, my need to always have
something new to read around me is well-sated. And I don’t have to worry about
fines ! I bought my third book today, although I have over 130 on my Tablet. What
can I say, I love me some freebies !
You won’t be surprised – I got
the Ghoulfriends Forever volume of
the ‘new’ MH series. It was even on
sale for just $1.99 ! Since I doubt I’ll ever find a dead-tree version
second-hand, I thought this would be a way to read it but not have it linger on
our bookshelves if it was just too young for me. And it’s a lot cheaper ! I read
the first two chapters when it first came out last year, and it actually reads
pretty well, much better than the shallow ad-fest series Lisl Harrison barfed
onto paper three years ago. Not that I’m bitter or anything…
Anyway, I’ll start reading
it, soon as I’m done with The Frog
Prince, Seven Patients, and Look For
Me, so stay tuned ! There’s another MH book in the new series due out the
first of April and another later this year.
